The sixth annual Historic Athens Mardi Gras Masquerade and Block Party is at its heart a celebration of the Athens art scene. Entertainment will come from a variety of local artists, including live music from Blair Crimmins and The Hookers, swing dance lessons and Samba with The Athens Studio dancers, and a drag showcase. The event will also feature an auction for parasols decorated by local artists, a couple’s costume contest with a $250 prize and authentic New Orleans dining. Historic Athens is additionally partnering on an exclusive Nighthawks New Orleans Cocktail Experience that offers the opportunity to try New Orleans cocktails and king cake, plus rides to and from the main masquerade at Terrapin.
